It may be a marketing problem or because they got caught in the black is beautiful thing. The ones I've seen have all been a whole lot bigger animals then I can use. There are a number of other breeds that fall into the sme niche, Gascone, Pinzgaur, Tarantaise, Pedmontese, etc. There is probably nothing wrong with them, they just haven't had the marketing savvy behind them and there are so many other breeds that probably fit nearly the same position. But, they're not black. Senepol is the one that interests me, but the last question I saw about them didn't even get any responses.
